ARRL®
Logbook of The
World® Return
to Service
Dear LoTW
user,
ARRL
The National
Association
for Amateur
Radio®
will return Logbook
of The World®
(LoTW®) to
service at 10:00
AM EDT on
Wednesday,
July 2, 2025.
We are happy
to be bringing
the upgraded
LoTW servers
online, as we
know radio
amateurs
around the
world rely on
LoTW to
receive QSLs
and apply for
awards.
The
improvements
we made will
make no change
in the visual
appearance of
LoTW but will
provide
enhanced
performance
and continued
reliability of
the system.
To those LoTW
users who
donated in
response to my
letter last
week—thank
you! Over
$4,000 was
raised in this
short time.
But there’s
still work to
be done and
funding the
ongoing
operations of
LoTW is
critical.
If you are not
a member of
ARRL, please
join! There’s
no better way
to support
LoTW. If you’d
like to
donate,
there’s still
time for you
to help! You
can make your
LoTW
supporting
gift of $20,
$50, or more
toward the ARRL
LoTW Fund
or visit www.arrl.org/donate
to support the
maintenance
and expansion
of LoTW.
Thank you, and
very 73!

About
Logbook of The
World®
Logbook of The
World® --
LoTW® -- is a
web-accessed
database and
repository
that enables
you to submit
electronic
logs for
amateur radio
contacts
(QSOs) and for
confirmation
(QSLs). Users
can view
submitted QSOs
and resulting
QSLs online.
Radio amateurs
can use LoTW
to track their
progress
toward
achievements
and awards,
such as The
ARRL Worked
All States
Award, and
amateur
radio’s
premier award,
DXCC®, in
which
membership is
achieved by
confirming
on-the-air
contacts with
100 countries.
LoTW was
introduced by
ARRL in 2003.
Today, over
2.1 billion
QSO records
have been
entered into
the system.
